Rated 5 out of 5 byWWPTV from Awesome Action CameraI started my career doing VLOGs with an HF20. The next camera upgrade was my old trusty G20. Then I passed on the G30 upon a rumor of a coming G40. It was well worth the wait. My cell phone started ringing off the hook. Competitors in motorsport business starting calling how I got shots at traditionally dark venues. I think most venues in the sport of Truck and Tractor pull are dark. But the results were garnering serious attention. The footage copies down to Windows easy enough. And editing this codec along with all my other Canon cameras is a snap. It is not uncommon for me to have up to 4 cameras at a time rolling still using a 60D for interview footage. If you are limited to dark venues, give this camera a try, you will not be underwhelmed. You will enjoy what footage you get.

Rated 5 out of 5 byMixedalohaplate from Excellent video and low light capabilityI needed to upgrade my camcorder and needed something that could shoot videos in close quarters as well as farther distances without having to change lens. I also wanted an upgraded quality video that could perform well in low lighting. This camcorder met all of those needs.

Rated 5 out of 5 byVideo life story from superb video cameraI bought the G40 video camera several months ago. I use it for recording life stories. I have been doing this for over 35 years and found this camera to be the finest camera I have ever used. I sell a cd on amazon how to video a life story called "my living legacy". I tell people if they are going to start a video business or record a person's life story "Buy Canon".

Rated 5 out of 5 byidealcheese from Great quality, but slow and not ergonomicI wanted a camcorder with at least 20x optical zoom *and* an electronic viewfinder. The options are limited, and this Canon seemed to me like a great option. I got a deal on a refurbished one and I'm glad I did, because it is just as if it were new. I haven't used it extensively but I did use it on a 2-week trip and so far I'm happy with the image quality and feature set, but pretty unhappy with the camera's ergonomics. First of all, it's big. I should have gone to see one in person before buying. I assumed it would be one of those little guys that fit in the palm of your hand, but it's not. It's the size of a very big eggplant, and it's heavy too. There seems to be a design flaw in the way the flip-out screen is engineered, because when carrying the camera around or taking it in and out of my bag, the screen just falls open by itself. One true annoyance is the placement of the power slider. I used to have a Sony camcorder that had its power dial located around the start/stop button. When you wanted to start shooting, you could slide the power ring and press the start button with your thumb, almost in one movement. The Canon has a slider on the top that goes from camera to off to media, and the slider is so loose that it easily gets moved inadvertently. I found this out the hard way when I put the camera in my bag fully charged and then took it out later to find that the battery was dead because it had accidentally been switched on. Add to this the fact that when you switch the camera on it takes a good 5+ seconds to be ready to shoot, and you have a piece of equipment that frustrates you every time you want to quickly shoot something. After fumbling for the on switch and then waiting for it to be ready, you've lost the shot half the time. So this may well be an excellent camera in many ways, but ultimately I'm too frustrated with its usability to be happy with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 byTtaggart06 from Quality!!!I have had my camera for about 3 weeks now and love it. I use it to record outside sporting events. There have been a few others also filming while I was there with much larger and more expensive equipment but the g40 provides better quality.
